Music's Biggest Breakout Stars
And then there's Adam Lambert, the openly gay runner-up of American Idol's eighth season who continues to court fans and controversy.
After an onslaught of cover stories and other headlines, the man dubbed "the wild idol" struck big with For Your Entertainment. Released in November, Lambert's debut album opened at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 with nearly 200,000 copies sold stateside. (It plummeted the following week.) More recently, Lambert put himself in the eye of a media storm when he thrust his crotch at and kissed fellow men onstage at the American Music Awards. But even after Good Morning America canceled a follow-up performance, he told Barbara Walters he had no regrets on her most fascinating people special (he was joined by Michelle Obama, Tyler Perry and Gaga, among others). Still to come: being honored as a breakout star at the upcoming People's Choice Awards.

Adam deserves to win Best Breakout Star, and Lady GaGa Best Pop Star.
Yay!!! Avant Garde always takes a little time for people to understand and accept, but Adam is such a phenomenal artiest and crazy talented singer that there just won't be any holding him back in the long run. The ablum is such a kick -I never get tired of it!! Go Adam!!
he won pca???? if that's true, yaaaaaaaaay!
I take offense at the comment that Adam's CD sales "plummeted" the week after its release. Most 2nd week sales drop...give me a break. It's still moving....and that's incredible for a first time artist!! Its gonna go GOLD...it's just a matter of time!!!
GO ADAM!
Question. Lady Gaga came out end of 2007 and had a big year 2008. She continued in 2009 to be big. But, how can she be nominated as a Break Out Artist? She isn't new anymore?
something isnt right here,Adam was winning this and Demi wasnt even in the poll. and whats with Lady Gaga she got hardly any votes. Is it because Adam got all her votes maybe? I smell a big rat!
